Thread: BEWARE of SCAMMERS

  1. #1

    Exclamation BEWARE of SCAMMERS

    If there is anything I can give back to this game, to the company and to the players, this is it.

    Evony has reached millions of players world wide, it is very nice to see this kind of technology take place and gather gamers, be a community, a kind of community which is unique and break barriers that seperates us.

    I enjoy playing this game and I would hate to hear or learn about any players getting ripped, hacked or identity stolen by scammers lurking in the shadows of this game.

    Recently, especially server 99 (probably happenning in other servers too, i don't know) there is heavy spamming going on in the world chat box about offering free game cents. That would be nice right, so kind of them to give you game cents to help you progress through the game...WRONG!!!

    DO NOT FALL FOR IT! I repeat DO NOT, IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES FALL FOR IT! Do not go to the link they advertise, do not even entertain the tought of going there, or even exchaging mails or PM with them. IGNORE THEM!

    If you ignore them, they will go away. If you exchange arguments with them, they can hook you with sweet talking.

    There is no such thing as free money. They want your evony account, they want your ccredit card information and they want your identity. They don't give you money, they take your hard earned money.

    Many players of evony are young and inexperiened. Please help me to campaign against these scammers. Let us be educated, be aware and smart about dealing (or ignoring) these scammers.

    If you read this post, please spread the word to your alliance! If you have an account in other servers, reach out to your community. We may be foes in the battle fields but we have to stand united against people who are out to harm us and ruin our fun and enjoyment of playing this game.



    Note: This was originally posted in server 99 forum. If there is any moderator to help me push this up to the community forum and make it sticky, it will be of great service to all players.

    Good warning, I hope people listen. The only way I know of to get free cents is off the wheel, or the fan sites have contests sometimes to give away Evony cents.

    If you come to a fork in the road, take it!

    I'm sorry, but if you actually fall for one of these scams, you deserve the consequences.

    It's bad enough you should know not to trust people that do free offers online, it's worse you should know cents and items are untradeable.

    And really, i'd think "Okay, if these Cents are free, why do they need my damned Social Security Number and Credit Card information?"

    No I have not (not in evony or anywhere online), but I spent a significant amount of time in a big city where scammers lurks in a daily basis.

    Anywhere doesnt make any difference, scammers are scammers. If you dont have anything good to add I suggest you don't post.

    The reason I posted this subject is because these scammers are annoying and taking space in the world chat box. It just so happen that it would also benefit the players. Just hope that your grandmother (or any member of your family) doesn't get scammed or you'll be eating your words. Even if your grandmother get scammed I still don't think she deserves the consequences.

    You probably dont mean to sound like your actually favoring the scammers or being cold hearted on the victims but you sound exactly like that.

    I salute Odomi's sense of civic duty in posting this warning. And very much endorse his words.This is indeed a special community.

    And though the subject is perhaps more suited to the Harassment Report section of our forum, I will stick it here for at least a while. General Discussion is, after all, the widest read part of our forum within the community, and I feel this warning deserves wide readership.

    Many thanks to the OP.

    And Bravo!
